The way African language courses are offered at South African universities keeps social divisions in place.
"In a recent paper we looked at the distribution and teaching of languages at South African universities.
We found that English and Afrikaans remain interprovincial languages and are offered across South African universities. African languages still primarily determine the university and province in which prospective African language students can study.
The results suggest that the apartheid pattern of language use hasn’t been broken in the democratic era."
